AV Sheaim + AV civ offering vassal = Agares anger

[PotatoSamurai]

Headline spells the general story. I'm playing Sheaim, I founded the Veil, some odd number of turns later a Lanun leader converts and eventually is hounded by some third civ (not an AV, was probably the Luchuirp under Runes) enough that he offers suzeraintyto me. Immediately after I accept, I and he declare war on Agares.

I kept playing, explaining my spotty memory, with the mistaken belief that Pax Diabolis would instantly remedy the problem without the pound of flesh that it in fact requires. I built it in my capital, which is also the Veil holy city. Oh, and I'm also at war with Hyborem (unrelated to this problem), so if I actually used Pax I'd be filling his ranks at the same time.

I tested using Pax, and indeed it allowed me and my vassals to make peace (the Luchuirp capitulated and this hadn't affected this problem AFAIK). Hyborem was unimpressed.

I can't tell from other FFH/FFH2 threads whether this is normal behavior or not, honestly. If I can make a quick fix recommendation, how about Ashen Sheaim and/or whoever holds the AV holy city (and/or shrine) and is Ashen can use a city spell at will to make up with Agares?

I've had a similar problem when playing a Feral civ. It doesn't always seem to happe, but sometimes when I accept a peacevassal or capitulation, I would declare war on the animals by doing so. I was also able to remedy it via a ritual (nature's revolt), but thought it was worth mentioning.

The issue occurs because generally, you want to pass on wars from vassals to protectors, not peace the other way around.

We can probably make an exception in the code if the civ is barbarian (demon, orc, animal).

Yeah, I figure it's reasonable considering the peaces are a special feature of religions, civs, etc rather than a matter of politics.
